We haven't ordered from them yet so I couldnt recommend them one way or the other. We still havent decided if we are going to go with the same model that is broken. Hope that helps, -Janel ---------------- Janel Brennan, Coordinator Language Instructional Technology School of Languages, Literatures & Cultures 3215 Jimenez Hall [log in to unmask] 301-405-6927 http://www.umd.edu/sllc -----Original Message----- From: Language Learning and Technology International Information Forum [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of LLTI-Editor Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 2:20 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: #6946.3 good, sturdy VHS camcorder recommendations?

I have been searching for a full-sized VHS camcorder for a month. Vendor after vendor has told me that they are no longer manufactured. I love DV, but for many situations, VHS meets our needs better. I, too, would welcome any suggestions for a source of any full-sized VHS camcorder at an affordable price.
